As a fan of the show "New Girl," I had a feeling that "Let's Be Cops" starring actors Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. was going to be very good.
The movie takes place in Los Angeles where two long-time buddies (Wayans and Johnson) are upset with the way their lives are going after they attend a college reunion party, while messing up the theme of masquerade costume party and dressing like cops.
While walking home upset, the duo realize that people actually believe they are certified police officers. This turns into the guys getting themselves into a bit of a pickle with a mobster who has plans around the city. The computer game designer and washed up college quarterback are determined to save the day.
With supporting cast members like Rob Riggle and Keegan Michael-Key, the laughs are easy to come by. Funny one-liners and plot twists give the movie a solid story behind it to keep the audience on the edge of their seat while getting in some good laughs at the same time.
While receiving not-so-strong reviews by Rotten Tomatoes and other film rating sites, I believe 'Let's Be Cops' is a must-see film when you are in the mood for a comedy. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 20 percent while IMDB rated it a 6.6 on a 10 point scale.
The film had a budget of $14 million and has grossed over $82 million. The way the movie ends has some people wondering if we will see a "Let's Be Cops" sequel in the next coming years. If this was true, I would definitely be seeing it in theaters.
Director Luke Greenfield is known for his work in movies like "The Girl Next Door" and "Role Models."
"Let's Be Cops" is now out in stores. If you have not seen it already, it is definitely worth a watch.
